DKNY presented its Holiday 2025 campaign lensed in New York, using winter weather and rooftop views to define the season’s mood. Snow falls against high-rise windows, traffic lights blur into color, and the city keeps its pace.
HOLIDAY SEASON
DKNY develops the campaign under creative direction by BIG + Partners, continuing the label’s long relationship with the city where it began. Photographer Christian MacDonald captured the series, with styling from Milton Dixon III. The cast includes models Quinn Mora, Paola Manes, and Owen O’Dell, who appear on rooftops during snowfall, dressed for shifting temperatures and changing light.
Black tailored dresses, structured outerwear, shearling textures, and padded jackets anchor the collection. Chain-strap bags, layered knits, and clean denim support a wardrobe designed for long days that extend into late nights.
The women’s looks lean into contrast between softness and structure through sleeveless black dresses paired with winter accessories, textured skirts, and cropped jackets. Evening-ready silhouettes sit comfortably beside daytime layers, reflecting how New Yorkers dress without separating function from style. Accessories remain minimal, with compact bags and restrained hardware that keep focus on shape and fit.
Menswear follows the same logic. Puffer coats, hooded layers, and dark tonal palettes reflect cold-weather utility while keeping lines clean. The styling favors simplicity, allowing outerwear and fabric weight to carry the look. Each outfit reads as practical for winter streets while still suited to social hours after dark.
DKNY Holiday 2025 collection captures a season defined by cold air, long nights, and clothing built to keep pace with the city.
